, buying majority control of the u.s. cell company. and with nearly one-in-three americans working contract or part-time jobs. we kick off a week-long look at how a nation of freelancers is changing our labor force. that and more tonight on "n.b.r."! a u-turn on wall street today. stocks rose, rebounding from sell-offs last week. good news about the american consumer put investors in a buying mood. the dow jumped 95 points, the nasdaq rose 20 and the s&p 500 up 11. retail sales rose more than 1% in september, which was better than expected. it follows an even bigger gain in august and its the best back- to-back showing since 2010. erika miller has a closer look at the data and what consumers were loading up on last month. >> reporter: it seems pretty unbelievable. but a single electronic devices appears to have powered the gain in u.s. retail sales last month. if you haven't guessed it, we're talking about the iphone 5. a remarkable five million of them were sold in their first weekend alone. and that appears to have boosted electronics sales by 4.5% in september. that was the biggest incre

unbelievable. but a single electronic devices appears to have powered the gain in u.s. retail sales last month. if you haven't guessed it, we're talking about the iphone 5. a remarkable five million of them were sold in their first weekend alone. and that appears to have boosted electronics sales by 4.5% in september. that was the biggest increase since the iphone 4s came out in october of last year. but the gain in retail sales wasn't only because of iphone. >> if you do take iphone, we still would have had a fairly decent 0.7% gain in overall retail sales spending activity. that's a very significant pop. we haven't seen that kind of growth over the past six months or so. >> reporter: and sales did rise in every retail category except department stores. consumers may be feeling better about spending. thanks to higher stock prices and stabilizing home values. >> we've seen a nice improvement in the economy over the past three months and also seen a solid rebound in wage growth and that's given consumers more confidence and more discretionary spending power. >> reporter: but unemployment is sti

, further expand their network in the u.s. >> what is the attraction here for softbank? >> this comes after the transaction of another acquisition in japan. so it's in line with what they've explained to investors over the past two years. where they want to take the company, expand into the telecom sector. and this will allow them to get a foot hold into the u.s. market which they currently don't have a presence in and the inner -- with their massive capital expenditure going forward. >> do you think they're going to start lowering prices or do you think they'll keep prices where they are because they like the cash generation from it? >> as far as bill porter is concerned from softbank's perspective, this will make them the third largest wireless carrier over in the u.s. behind verizon and at&t. and so i think eventually once we deal with the forward capital expenditure that they'll have to invest in going forward, i think we can all talk about, well, is this going to also impact prices in the u.s. but first they'll expand their network before talking about is it going to lower prices. >> a

canada to u.s. refiners on the gulf coast. we will speak with susan scott who owns land where the pipeline will run, and with actress daryl hannah, who was arrested there last week and has long been active in protests against the pipeline. >> we cannot afford to poison our soil and fresh water. we need that money and those jobs that were going to go toward this pipeline to go toward real solutions, american, u.s.-made community-based energy like solar, like wind, like geothermal. >> then we will speak with reporter mike elk about his new exposÉ, "koch sends pro-romney mailing to 45,000 employees while stifling workplace political speech." >> the boss is constantly talking about politics in the workplace. all of the sudden, your co- workers are wearing republican buttons. does that mean you to wear one, too? if your co-workers are volunteering with your boss on the weekend for gop candidates, does that mean if you want to get a raise you have to do that as well? >> mother jones looks at how the romney and obama campaigns are digitally mining personal data in order to get out t

regarding his country's stance on disputed territory in the east china sea. koichiro gemba told a senior u.s. official there is no issue regarding who owns the senkaku islands. japan controls the islands, but china and taiwan claim them. gemba met in tokyo with deputy secretary of state william burns. burns is in japan ahead of visits to china and south korea. during the discussions gemba reiterated that the senkaku islands are an inherent part of japanese territory. he added this is based on historical fact and international law. gemba explained japan is trying to facilitate dialogue with china while asking its neighbor to act calmly. the diplomats also touched on the subject of north korea. they agreed to continue to work with south korea to address the north's nuclear program. they also decided to keep looking into the issue of japanese nationals who were abducted by north korean agents in the 1970s and '80s. >>> government officials from japan, china, and south korea have emphasized the importance of cooperation to overcome confrontations. representatives of the three nations met monday

word that a haso-based mobil carrier purchased 70% of u.s.-based corp..nextel this deal is worth $20 billion. the japanese company announcing this at a news conference just happened this morning in tokyo. the deal has been approved by both boards would still need e u.s.-basedm th shareholders. the wall street journal reporting that the ceo of sprint in control of the in the u.s.. now it's not clear what this means for consumers. analysts say in the future this gives a spread nextel the maybe purchase a mobile, company like t- morethem a little against at&t and verizon. if they were to do that in the mean at&t andould might ask to explore their prices a little to stay with a company like .print this is a story we will continue watch. we will have even more hour.ation in our next back to you. >> thank you. 4:52. for the first time in over a found a waydskins to win at fedex field. the first home victory of the rg3 era. the rookie quarterback put on setting a record his fifth rushing touchdown season. 76-ent up the middle for a touchdown, which sealed the deal. 38-26.t the victory >> to

saudi arabia, qatar, other gulf countries. you saw in today's paper the u.s. has the policy essentially of not arming the rebels directly, but allowing or possibly assisting in indirectly arming the rebels through countries like these gulf countries, saudi arabia and qatar. and the problem you have is many private citizens from these countries, in fact, don't espouse democratic values, per se. but support more militant islamic groups. >> clarissa, let me ask you about that "new york times" piece this morning that says a lot of these arms being supplied by saudi arabia and qatar are going into the hands of these hard line islamic jihadists and not these more secular opposition groups. is this a blow to u.s. strategy there? >> i think it absolutely is. because there's a very real sense that the u.s. has lost an opportunity here by taking such a hands-off approach to the syrian conflict. they've really lost the opportunity to influence the -- what's happening on the ground and to ensure that groups and opposition members who do espouse more democratic values have any real success or power

we know well, in which the candidates attracted to a u.s. and new hampshire, and they submit their feet to the will of the people. and in a series of primaries and caucuses they are the chairs and nominees are selected. before jimmy carter, presidential candidates were chosen by insiders at the national conventions. and they could run in the primaries and the caucus but they didn't necessarily have to. it was an inside game. presidents now must raise a lot of money to take their money to their case to the people in the way that they didn't need to before. and in terms of the travel and the president's focusing on the key states, you have presidents now who are key to the political success taking their case to the people and now that you're in the office, they have continued to do so as president.o in the book i talk about examples of the presidential aide saying when a president needs to get back to his winning a game or does he want to do? he wants to go back to the people and the have and to do it in the key electoral states that better disproportionately in the coming ele

in washington this monday morning. thanks. >>> and one more political note. the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in libya has now become campaign fodder. south carolina republican senator lindsey graham is accusing the administration of a coverup. but the top democrat on the house committee investigating that attack says the accusation is quote ridiculous conspiracy stuff. >>> republicans and democrats alike are paying tribute this morning to former senator arlen specter. the moderate republican turned democrat from pennsylvania who served 30 years in the senate died yesterday of complications from non-hodgkin's lymphoma. he was known for being fiercely independent and for also being a man of the people. >> i remember as a kid, he would be down in the stands at three rivers stadium at steelers games introducing himself, just getting to know, he wanted to know the whole stadium. i think people will look back and say, that is what an elected official is supposed to do, even if it is not convenient or is difficult at times. arlen specter always did that. >> his funeral is tomorrow. vice

a supply line to the soviet union fighting for its life against nazi germany. the u.s. joined in that occupation after the u.s. joined the war and the russians did not leave as they had agreed to do it and instead set up a separatist movement in the northwest which first demanded autonomy from iran. that crisis was the first item on the docket of the newly formed united nations and of the first five resolutions of the security council starting in january of 1946. three of the five involve iran and azerbaijan. >> what role did the cia played in iran in the 1950's? >> well, peter, that's a good question. i don't have many details. many pyrenean friends of mine think i know more about the operations than i do of the cia. people argue over this endlessly what we do know is that the early 1953 president eisenhower inherited a difficult situation from president truman and gave the order to plan an operation inside iran to bring down prime minister mohsen def and to replace him with someone believed to be more in accordance with our interest. >> so did the prime minister get replaced

they have the right to hear what happened to the man and whether the u.s. constitution applies at gitmo. all five of the terrorists are expected to attend in person. despite it being closed to the public relatives who lost loved ones can watch the trials at u.s. military sites. >>> now to an extreme weather alert, severe thunderstorms in chicago prompting tornado warnings through out the city. >> you can certainly hear the vines going off in the background. wind gusts clocking in at 50 miles per hour. take a look at this. it's time lapsed video. it shows the storm as it rolls right through one neighborhood. that is spectacular looking. fortunately no reports of major damage or any injuries. >>> a california man head to do the 49ers game with a group of friend was stabbed outside of candle stick park. >> an altercation happened and pulled out a knife and actually was going for my girlfriend and her boyfriend jumped in the way and they stabbed him in the abdomen. >> police say the group was approached by two men that got into an argument and one of the attackers allegedly pulled out a knife an

potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. the u.s. court of appeals for columbia will decide the case. >>> time is 6:15 transit officials admit they did not have the proper permit. they admit a person knit for -- permit for soil testing was issued but not for other tests. the rail transit districts acknowledged this and they say stricter rules are in place. >>> cars are polluting the environment even before they hit the streets. the way electric cars makes them twice as harmful to the environment compared to gas powered cars. still electric cars can make sense if the electricity to use them comes from low carbon sources. >>> they are making two busy streets for elevated bike paths. the sap fran coalition said more people -- san francisco coalition said more people would consider biking but if it is approved dozens of parking spaces out there would be lost. >>> let's turn to sal to see if traffic is picking up on this monday. >> maureen and dave, it is getting busier as a matter of fact if you are driving on the bridges here. the traffic is moving along relatively well and i want to lo

mobile operator will buy up to 70% of the third largest u.s. carrier. about $20.1 billion and softbank will get access to a u.s. market that still shows growth compared to japan's market which is stagnating. meantime sprint will get the fire power to buy competitors and to build out its 4 g network. meanwhile a new poll finds economists forecast only tepid growth. unemployment seen back above 8% for the first half of 2013. good news comes in the quarterly survey by the national association for business economists and that is the housing market is recovering faster than expected those polls say the economy likely won't fall off the fiscal cliff. and nabe's vice president will join us along with steve liesman at 7:30 eastern. at 8:30, september retail sales and the october empire state survey. so we'll see how business conditions are around here. and then at 10:00, we have business inventories and earnings season is in full swing this week. profits of s&p 500 comes are seen dropping 3% this quarter year over year. that would be first decline that we've seen in three years. 6% of the s&p

. and the u.s.' counterterrorism policies in north africa are highly unpopular. so we need to get better and smarter about how we do counterterrorism, and i think a big piece of it is economic. counterterrorism, i don't know how much it's shifted because they were really smart about it early on, but then the resources put sort of more on the military side even though it tried to be more socioeconomic early on. i think the we need a much more holistic approach to counterterrorism. >> thank you, dr. alexander, for your question. i think that one of the reasons for this situation in northern mali is precisely the issue of refugees. i happen to have recorded some of the what happened, i mean, as a spawn of libya, of what happened already since the return of the, of the tuaregs who were serving in thegy gaze under gadhafi. in may 284,000 fled northern mali. about 60,000 went to -- [inaudible] 61,000 went to mauritania. you were talking about the neighborhood, what's going on. algeria, i think, has 15,000 or 20,000. so if the situation if there is an intervention, you know, as the french are w

said they hope the agreement will isolate the extremists. the u.s. food and drug administration has widened a warning about medicines made by a specialty pharmacy near boston. the new england compounding center sold tainted steroids linked to an outbreak of fungal meningitis. as of today, there were 212 cases nationwide, and at least 15 deaths. now the f.d.a. says it's investigating other illnesses that may be tied to the company's products. those are some of the day's major stories. now, back to ray. >> suarez: and we return to politics. the battle lines are drawn in this year's massachusetts senate race, where a republican incumbent is looking to survive in a blue state. gwen ifill has our report. >> yeah, yeah, ifill: for nine years ray flynn a staunch life-long democrat was the mayor of boston. this year he's working to re-elect a republican, scott brown. >> i see him with the veterans. he sits there and has a beer with the veterans and talks over all the issues. they love him for it. >> your u.s. senator scott brown ifill: in 2010 brown won the senate seat once held by ted kenn

of serious analysis of the u.s. vital interests. i have not done that, although i have done some writing on that, but that is what is necessary. the point of the paper is that the public discussion is really not focused on that much more relevant question. what is really focused on is an irrelevant question, which is what are the short-term gdp effects of changes in the defense budget, and by implication, other changes in the budget as well, which is the wrong question. the question is, where are the resources used most productively in the coming, and what is the path that to take us there? percent of gdp is not really there, except in terms of -- -- as a measure of what we can afford. >> you talk about reduction of spending in the 1990's, but the domestic budget shrunk as well in the 1990's. bill clinton was in office, federal spending was 22% of gdp. eight years later, we were a little over 18%. that is a big cut in the cost of government. that was the biggest boom period we ever saw in this country. the economy never did better. i do not see evidence that these cutbacks in spending --

. but nothing like the numbers that come out for other causes. for example, to protest against u.s. drone strikes. it may be because the whole subject of girls' education is controversial. it's estimated that only 22% of girls in rural areas even finish primary school. >> pelley: elizabeth, thanks very much. the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks went before a military tribunal today on the u.s. naval base at guantanamo bay, cuba. khalid sheikh mohammed and four co-defendants are charged with conspiracy and nearly 3,000 counts of murder. the defendants sat quietly today, in contrast to when they disrupted the proceedings with protests last time. this was a pre-trial hearing today. the trial itself won't start at least for another year. the investigation into the deadly meningitis outbreak is widening. the food and drug administration said today two more medications from the specialty pharmacy may be vovled. the infection has spread now to 15 states, 214 cases have been reported and 15 people have died. dr. jon lapook has the latest. >> reporter: today's f.d.a. statement raises

in the middle of the week. >> all right. thanks, bill. >>> the father of former u.s. ambassador to libya chris stevens speaks out. what caused one of our subs to collide with one ouf our stroirs? from land to water in the push of a button. you might be able to afford james bond's latest gadget. you're watching "early today." >>> welcome back to "early today." the pakistani girl shot last week for promotion education to girl is being flown to grit britain this morning. doctors believe malala yousef is a will need long-term care. >>> arlen specter died sunday from complications of nonhodgkin's lymphomaality the age of 82. the two were close and often traveled on amtrak together when they were senators. >>> the pentagon is investigating what caused the collision of a nuclear sub and naval cruiser during a training exercise off the east coast this weekend. no one was injured and both ships were able to return to port. the damage is being evaluated. >>> the father of christopher stevens, the u.s. ambassador killed during last month's consulate attack in libya said it would be abhorrent for his son'

of former u.s. ambassador to libya chris stevens speaks out. what caused a u.s. nuclear sub to collide with one of our destroyers? your early morning headlines are straight ahead. >>> from land to water with a push of a button. guess what. you may actually be able to afford james bond's latest gadget. you're watching "early today." >>> wcome back to "early today." i'm veronica de la cruz. the pakistani teenage girl shot in the head by the taliban last week for promoting education for girls and criticizing the group in a blog is being flown to great britain this morning. doctors believe malala yousafzai will need prolonged care as she recovers. >>> tomorrow, vice president joe biden will attend the funeral of former pennsylvania senator arlen specter, who died sunday from complications of nonhodge kins lymphoma at the age of 82. the two were close and often traveled on amtrak together when they were senators. >>> the pentagon is investigating what caused the collision of a nuclear sub and a naval cruiser during a training exercise off the east coast this weekend. no one was injured and

this monday morning. thanks. >>> the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate has now become campaign fodder. south carolina republican senator lindsey graham is accusing the administration of a coverup. the top democrat says it is ridiculous conspiracy stuff. >>> people are paying tribute to arlen specter this morning. he served 30 years in the senate and he died yesterday of complications from nonhoge kins lymphoma. >> i remember as a kid, he would be down in the stands at three rivers stadium at steelers games introducing himself, just getting to know, he wanted to know the whole stadium. think people will look back and say, that is what an elected official is supposed to do, even if it is not convenient or is difficult at times. arlen specter always did that. >> his funeral is tomorrow. vice president joe biden has postponed campaign events in order to attend. he was 82 years old. >>> in other new, pretrial hearings are set to begin today for five men accused of planning the terrorist attacks on 9/11. the hearings are closed but family members of those killed on 9/11 have been invited to milita

who speaks to the u.s. ambassador on this question -- still the calculation is providing support from the united states into the rebels' hands at this time would have a very uncertain outcome. we are working very hard with the rebel forces, and clearly, as the president said, assad's days are over. they will eventually come to an end. we need to be ready to provide as much support to the moderate forces as we can in the interim. i do want to, if i can, just say one thing about the comments about iran, which is also very related to this serious issue. he does set up the strawman about the sanctions on iran and the 20 countries that have gotten off the hook. i think it is interesting to note that this is where the facts really do matter. the iran sanctions act is the critical piece of legislation that the congress passed in the 1990's to punish iran and those who support its petroleum sector. zero companies were sanctioned by the bush administration under the iran sanctions act in eight years. 0. when the president came into office, he very aggressively moved on the sanctions using exis

and the hamas which are very close in their opinions about many issues, the sharia law. the israelis, the u.s., very close in their minds. they will have to walk together and find a way. i do not think -- i don't want to annex the palestinian towns. i think they belong, they should be connected into jordan and egypt. and yes, it will not happen tomorrow. we will have to wait. how long we'll have to wait, i don't know. if i came here to washington, d.c. two years ago i would've told you the president mubarak would be caged in jail in cairo, you would think i'm insane. and to them, coming and telling you in the long term there should be a linkage between the palestinians and -- you with tell it's not going to happen, they would not agree to it. the middle east history dynamic, can change very fast, and we have to put forward what we believe is good for us. >> i fear for israel's security and future. i see that as dangerous. and it's also a moral issue, but thank you. >> thank you. >> my name is jerry. actually i was in jerusalem in 1973 when the war broke out, and all the european nations made

? >> in the short term, i mean, i still think that we would probably be diversified with gold and we would be in u.s. names, levered for growth but also with healthy dividend yields and strong supportable businesses. you know, we like energy. it's not going anywhere. we like the u.s. refiners. i do like financials in the long term although, you know, i would argue that if the positive, if you will, effects of qe, if there are any, are diminishing. the laws of diminishing returns. i think that's also doing -- that subsiis reducing the net earnings banks are seeing in earnings and i think that's why we've seen bank stocks slow down. >> jeff sica, anything you're buying in equities? >> right now i like energy. i think energy has probably the most potential going forward. some of the agriculture companies. i'm in it to win it. i'm not just sitting on the sideline waiting in every area. there are stocks that have some potential because they're backed by things like commodities. they have the ability to increase in value. as we start to see this inflationary trend start to pick up. >> all right. gentlemen

to take the car at this point. >> car sales are one of the troop bright spots in the struggling u.s. economy. -- true bright spots in the struggling u.s. economy. compacts are popular. >> when gas prices go up, so do economy car sales. >> vw has watched its sales skyrocket over the past year. one reason? the turbo diesel. >> $3, $4 a gallon -- people have a tendency to want to go for a car that gives them better mpg. >> will -- cold sweat and says their september sales are the best -- volkswagen says their september sales are the best they have had since 1972. beetle looksat' different from this 1. >> shoppers are finally letting go of 10-year-old cars. is now a good time to shop? >> you are closing of the 2012 model. there is great incentive on last year's models. we have the 2013 models your. you can get the vehicle you want. -- we have the 2013 models here. >> now your insta-weather plus forecast with meteorologist tony pann. >> we started off with temperatures in the 60's. it was just a couple days ago, we had a freeze advisory. in that respect, it has been ok today. a little br
